@libravatar are you aware of WKD? Just in case, it's a standard for putting cryptographic keys on personal servers behind a URL that can be computed based on the identifier. So knowing just the identifier "bob@domain.tld", you can easily download bob's key from his server on domain.tld

No need for a centralized service.

Do you happen to know if there's a similar thing for avatars? If you have a personal server, you can easily store an image there

@ilpianista

@libravatar @ilpianista thanks for that PR, great feeling when people feel passionate enough to contribute 🤗

There had been an earlier libravatar issue and at that moment, I had to put it on hold because of (poor) code design choices I had made 😐

With the Keyoxide 3.0.0 rewrite, this is now feasible. We must give key holders the choice of avatar provider. But I wouldn't mind setting defaults that favor decentralized options!

@michael yeah we tried making it standard but no luck.

As for the CLI, JS is indeed not an optimal choice but they're all stepping stones. When you're not a multimillion company, you need a few more of those.

Though at this moment not my highest priority, the CLI will also be rewritten, likely in rust

@vascorsd good catch 😮 patching right now

Here's what a new #keyoxide profile page looks like: https://keyoxide.org/hkp/9f0048ac0b23301e1f77e994909f6bd6f80f485d

Also, have a look at @keyoxide fediverse account, it now shows a fancy green tick next to the Keyoxide profile link ✅

So excited to announce Keyoxide version 3.0.0 🎉

This update was worth the wait, with a (much needed 😎) redesign that is cleaner and more consistent that before.

Now also featuring server-side rendering! So not only pretty darn fast, but also parseable by Mastodon! Keyoxide links in Mastodon bio with a ✅ for everyone 🤩

Thank all for your support. Here's to taking our online identity back from Big Tech!

@finlaydag33k sorry for my delayed reply! Yes, this is possible, though we haven't tested this yet. I'd love to test this out with you.

@heii indeed, it now is.

I wanted to thank you for your message last night (for Europeans), after reading I immediately restarted the proxy server and that fixed it.

Interestingly, the health status of the proxy server showed no issue 🤔 unsure how it failed!

@ben no such thing as a dumb question.

Currently not, but that is a good idea! One that I, to be quite frank, had never considered and now find ridiculously obvious. Easy enough to implement, will do so soon!

@yisraeldov @yarmo interesting glitch 🤔 hadn't noticed that before, I'll have a look!

#Keyoxide 2.5.0 just launched with support for #matrix and #irc identity verification 🎉

More communication platforms!

@maxi @kubikpixel you are spot on on many aspects there!

- yes, one needs advanced tech skills and this is not ideal
- the website is too vague on defining certain concepts
- we need apps/gui and an android app should work with openkeychain

I am currently working on a big overhaul of the website and the information it displays. Within months, I hope to release an android app that does most of the basic functions.

I'll post updates as soon as something is ready :)
